Pancake Cereal

I love breakfast. That is one meal I do not like to skip. I love all kinds of breakfast from just a muffin or bagel to a full course of eggs, bacon and gravy. I even like breakfast for supper. One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is French toast, waffles or pancakes. You know, the sweet stuff.

Speaking of pancakes, have you ever eaten pancakes with a spoon? Well, let me introduce you to this little breakfast bowl I created this morning. 

It is called pancake cereal because it consist of a bowl of tiny pancakes. Yes, thats right, teeny tiny little pancakes. They were easy to make but took a lot of patience. Nick laughed at me every time he passed by the stove. 

I got rid of my usual pancake mix because I have had to go on a low sodium diet. Aunt Jemima Pancake mix is the best but too high in sodium for my diet. I scoped out the pantry for something to make pancakes and found a box of Bisquick. I followed the instructions on the back and created a thin pancake batter.

Making tiny pancakes like this requires some sort of squirt bottle or tiny pour. I had a squeeze bottle with a spout that worked perfect. I lined the pan with small drops of mix and carefully flipped each one. You have to do this pretty quick as they will easily over cook. In fact, you do not even have to flip them as they will cook through in just a few seconds. I just wanted mine to be evenly brown. (Nick was still laughing).

Add your favorite toppings and enjoy. 

Pancakes

1 Cup Bisquick

1 Egg

1/2 Cup Milk (I used almond milk)

Mix and pour into a hot greased pan.

Flip when the tops start to become dry (no need to flip for the tiny pancakes).

A Toad and a Storm

Nick went out for a walk and I decided to stay in and clean the camper a little. Well, really, I simply did not feel like putting on shoes. We hung around the camper the rest of the morning and headed out to the ocean after lunch. We decided not to take the umbrella and use our old chairs today. We could see a storm brewing in the distance and it would be easier to make a run for it if we had too. Our camper is sitting about 100 feet from the beach.

We grabbed our old chairs that had been sitting out all night and our beach bag and headed out. 

Once we got to the spot on the sand that we wanted to spend the day, we flung open our chairs and plopped them down. When I opened my chair, a big toad fell out. He looked up at me with a grumpy look on his face. I just messed up his day. 

I grabbed the little fella and took him back over the dunes to a grassy area and let him go. The anxiety of carrying a toad was high as I have not touched a toad since I was probably nine years old. Eeeek. But I knew he would not survive sitting out with us all day in the baking sun. 

As we sat on the beach we enjoyed watching the rain bands sweep across the ocean in the distance. It looked near but in reality it was miles away. People were still enjoying the water and bathing in the sun. 

The skies got darker and we could actually see the storm in the distance as the sun was still bright on the coast. It was beautiful and I love storms.

It was nice sitting on mother natures porch watching the storms pass by.  

It has rained all around us all week but never came to where we are. 

It has been so nice here that we have decided to extend or stay a couple more days.
